Özet

Hospital information systems (HIS) have begun to be used at inpatient therapy institutions since 1990s in Turkey and showed a very fast development after 2003. Goal of this study is to examine any applications on administrative processes of these existing hospital information systems at hospitals bound to the Turkish Ministry of Health, evaluate the current condition and develop any relevant suggestions for the future. It is a descriptive scanning model and a field study. Any inpatient therapy institutions bound to the Turkish Ministry of Health constitute a phase of this study. In this study, sampling is not selected and all phases are included in the scope of the study. This study is implemented by means of the questionnaires on hospital information systems at hospitals bound to the Turkish Ministry of Health conducted between July and October in 2004, 2006 and 2008. As a result of this study, it is noted that there are an insufficient number of personnel, HIS directors and operators trained in area of informatics at hospitals. Hospitals should be supported with respect to qualified technical labor trained in area of informatics, and teams must be established immediately to provide hospital directors with any consulting services on technical matters. © 2011 IADIS.
